If they'd done it before there may well not have been an October 7th, Blinken also put in place sanctions to go after the money and he said he was going to cut hamas out of the aid chain as well as Abbas etc basically everything I said, with one extra, they are sanctioning Israeli settler groups and individuals which I think is a good if symbolic gesture.

Oh no not the fanatical unltras, I'm sure the IDF is shitting their pants at the prospect of going up against the gravy seals, I seem to remember the fanatical Ultras not doing much when the gaza settlements were pulled down all those years ago, I did always wonder what those settlements were doing in such a small area of land anyway, not enough room to swing a dead terrorist/ dead child so we'll stick some ideological settlements on there too for good measure, just to ramp up the tension

What are you on about?

It's easy for Blinken to pontificate. He does have some levers in terms of aid that the US can provide to Israel. But there are delicate balances here because Iran is the dark shadow in the background who want Israel to be erased. Btw, I've no problem with the symbolic gesture made by Blinken against the Ultra settlers, albeit no more than a gesture. The Ultras need to be dealt with but at 1 million strong, that's nigh on impossible without military action by Israel.

With regard to the second phrase I've highlighted in red, you've really shown yourself up. Your sentiment seems to include a Palestinian tipping point of 'enough is enough' - let's fight Israel. But the barbarity of Hamas has no justification. You might as well be one of the 300,000.
